This collection of preludes in all major and minor keys contains a wealth of pedagogical challenges for the late intermediate to early advanced level student. Each prelude is designed to explore one or more pianistic problems, and serves as excellent preparatory repertoire for the more complex character pieces of the great masters of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. The sounds of Bach, Mendelssohn, Schumann, Rachmaninoff, Debussy, Ravel, Gershwin, Prokofieff and Copland are echoed in the pieces in this collection. Dennis Alexander has recorded beautiful solo renditions of all 24 pieces on a correlated compact disc, which is packaged with each book in a convenient vinyl slip-pocket. The recordings are ideal for students to listen to at home for performance modeling and for quick teaching reference as you assign selections.

這套所有大調和小調的前奏曲集包含了針對中後期到早期高級水平學生的大量教學挑戰。 每首前奏曲都旨在探討一個或多個鋼琴學問題，並作為 19 世紀和 20 世紀大師們更複雜的性格曲目的優秀預備曲目。 巴赫、門德爾松、舒曼、拉赫瑪尼諾夫、德彪西、拉威爾、格甚溫、普羅科菲耶夫和科普蘭的聲音在該合集中的曲目中得到了迴響。 丹尼斯·亞歷山大 (Dennis Alexander) 將所有 24 首曲子的美妙獨奏錄製在一張相關的光盤上，該光盤與每本書一起包裝在一個方便的乙烯基插袋中。 這些錄音非常適合學生在家中收聽以進行表演建模，並在您分配選擇時作為快速教學參考。
